Very pale, with lively bubbles and crisp acidity. Slightly lemony on the finish but not unpleasant. As a sipper and with her chicken casserole; very nice. 11.5% alc/vol and $10.99 at Costco. But the confounded fat-bottomed bottle won't fit in any winerack; will need to stay in a box on the cellar floor. #$%^?@&!
